Bitan Piaoxue Tea (碧潭飄雪茶 bìtán piāoxuĕ chá) is a kind of scented tea produced in Sichuan province (四川省 sìchuān shĕng).
The sparkling white flower buds are carefully picked during sunny afternoons, adding to the tea a fresh and sweet aroma.
碧bì (green jade) — refers its jade green color; 潭 tán (pond) — represents the teacup; 飄 piāo (to float) — the petals floating on the surface of the water and its rich fragrance; and 雪 xuĕ (snow) — stands for the pure white jasmine buds.
I decided to do a “Five Fav Fridays” series, just listing a few great things about my life, things I’ve enjoyed, or whatever else I’d like, on Fridays.
1. Pure Leaf Iced Sweet Tea
Pure Leaf Iced Sweet Tea is my favorite brand of iced sweet tea. I’m a sucker for sweet tea, given my insane sweet tooth and love for tea, but Pure Leaf has managed to create a tea that isn’t too sweet, but not too bitter either. Plus, it’s only a few bucks at the grocery store! Perfect.
2. Spoken Word Poetry
Spoken Word Poetry has a very special place in my heart. I’ve spent numerous hours on YouTube, Vimeo, and Ted Talks, watching in amazement how these strangers can pull so many emotions out of me with their own. Spoken word is amazing, and if you haven’t checked any of it out, I’ll post some of my favorites below.
My home town is known for having an intense virus of school spirit. Homecoming is nothing short of crazy, intense, and wild, all in good fun. Tonight is the homecoming football game, and, being a recent graduate, I’m really excited to watch the game and see the Homecoming Court be presented during half time. My little brother is a running back for the team and I’m really looking forward to watching him play and run the ball! Friday nights were meant for football.
4. Cute School Supplies
Cute school supplies are a must! Especially now that I’m in college, I want to be excited to do my school work and be successful. Cute pens and organization helps! (Though my desk drawer isn’t that cute).
I bought this chevron binder for .49 cents and already had this coral monogram sticker, so I combined the two and woolah! I have a cute binder to put my text book! Annoyingly, two of my text books came as a stack of loose papers, so this was a trendy solution.
Cute pens and personalized stationary is also essential. I bought these pens at Target in the $1 section! They come in a pack of two and are super cute, but don’t last very long. But, they’re trendy and only .50 cents! My monogrammed paper I made, easily by printing it out from Microsoft Word onto blank white paper! So easy and cute!
5. New Riding Boots
Unfortunately, my Steve Madden boots I bought last January have come to an end. It’s been a great 9 months, but they’re just too worn to wear now. Luckily for me, that meant it was time to buy new boots! I saw these in Target (online here) and thought, “I have to buy these.” I’m so glad I did! They were only $39.99 (a steal) and are so comfy and cute! My Target was running out of them, so I would recommend getting them soon or ordering them online if you’re looking for a reasonably priced riding boot!
Thanks for reading! I hope you all have a great Friday!

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Are you seriously saying that brits don’t have chocolate milk? What a sad existence, to not know the creamy, near-milkshake-like bliss that is chocolate milk.
“Sweet tea” is one version of iced tea that is prevalent in the American South, and by “sweet” they mean have your doctor and dentist on standby because your pancreas will nope out and you will sprout five cavities spontaneously because of all the sugar that is in it.
